    Taming The Tongue Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 26, 2021
     | 6,369 views

    James devotes most of chapter 3 to our challenge of controlling the tongue. In this sermon, we examine James' pronouncements about the tongue and then look at improper and proper uses of the tongue.

    Introduction: A. If your tongue has ever gotten you into trouble, then please raise your hand. 1. Turn to your neighbor and say, “I’m not surprised!” 2. We are not surprised, because it happens to all of us. 3. All of us have had the experience of saying something, and then wishing we had not said ...read more

    The Wise, The Unwise, And The Otherwise Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 4, 2021
     | 6,983 views

    In James chapter 3, James contrasts two kinds of wisdom: worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. The fruits that result from these two kinds of wisdom couldn't be any more different from each other.

    A. Let’s start our sermon this morning with a quote: “Life is hard and it’s harder when you’re stupid.” 1. We chuckle at that because we all know it’s true. 2. Some people attribute that quote to John Wayne. 3. I don’t know if the Duke did or didn’t say those words. 4. The line doesn’t appear in ...read more

    But It’s Only Words

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 10, 2021
     | 2,087 views

    We often dismiss our words because actions are what really matter. This sermon looks at some of the warnings the Scripture gives us about the dangers of our words.

    BUT IT'S ONLY WORDS: Often we think of actions as being serious but words as being insignificant. TAKING OUR WORDS SERIOUSLY: 1. Your words reveal who you are. - Matthew 12:34-35. - We deny this: “I said it but that’s not who I am.” Like when we lie or burst out in anger. 2. Your words ...read more

    You can tell from the text of my sermon today I am going to preach about the tongue.

    Perhaps some are assuming the reason I am preaching on this subject is because some members in the church are mis-using their tongue in the church. But if you think this you are absolutely wrong!!! God as my witness as I stand in this pulpit before you and the God I love and serve…I AM ...read more

    In His Time

    Bringing someone to Christ requires patience, love, and prayer. How we approach them with the gospel can either encourage them or turn them off completely. We have to give God and His Spirit the chance to work in people.

    “Conversion In His Time” by Joe Mack Cherry I. Preface – Bringing Others to Christ A. We are all called to bring others to Christ! 1. We are commanded to teach and admonish others. a.

    Message analyzes the incident in Exodus 4:24-26 when God sought to kill Moses. Why were God's dealings so severe when he was on his way to Egypt to do what God told him to do at the burning bush? What lessons can the Christian draw from this story?

    Before we get into the message, I want to mention an opportunity we have in this season. Tomorrow, September 6th at sunset begins the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah).
